And that was certainly evident in her remarkable appearance at Grace Jones’ 2022 Meltdown festival. As you might expect from a Peaches set it featured not just her music, but elements of cabaret, performance, and a giant inflatable phallus.

Alongside footage from that memorable night, Peaches talks to us about the influence of the Meltdown curator Grace Jones’ on her own career, including how she has inspired here since she was young.

She also talks us through the show she brought to our Royal Festival Hall, including insights into what it entailed, and what it’s like to perform in our biggest auditorium.
